Efteling | Baron 1898 | B&M Dive Coaster

Love the color scheme and theming! Given the inital drop height, I'm assuming the layout isn't going to be very long though. :( Would be awesome to see a Giga Dive Machine X-P

There will be a section underground as i understood. Going 10 meters (30ft) underground on the first drop. But i still don't mind if the ride will be short. Theming is an expertise of Efteling.

I believe this is the first B&M ever in the Netherlands. Hope to see more of them in the future. Preferable a invert since all we have is one of the first Vekoma SLC in Walibi Holland (and you feel that during the ride).

Also i hope to see more of GCI, Intamin, and (we all have dreams) a RMC Hybrid.... :angel:

Don't forget Droomvlucht :wink: . Still a better invert than El Condor.

Source: Looopings/vijf zintuigen forums, also confirmed by the park's facebook page now.

Drop in tunnel > Immelman > Zero G > Helix > Airtime hill and turn into the brakes

So as expected similar to Gardaland's coaster.

Making of Episode 5 is also posted now:

RCDB will claim it's a heartline roll, based on what they've said about the Gardaland coaster's 2nd inversion. I personally think it's a Zero-G roll, especially if you go by what RCT3 says. :wink:
 
The making-of confirmed it's a zero G roll, and there is indeed a little airtime hill towards the end. The animated POV is shown there. I'm glad, I prefer zero G rolls over heartline rolls.

And what the park director says in the video! :p
 
^ To his defense, I edited my post later to include the making of video, before that it was difficult to see whether it's a zero G or a heartline roll :wink: .
 
I'm liking the layout, not overly complex but should give a similar ride to Krake, which is fab. Looks amazing though, easily the best looking Dive Machine around.
 
Loving it :)

Can't wait to go there again and experience Baron 1898.

I also hope that Hartenhof will be completed next year.
 
Here's the POV for those who didn't watch the making of.
